HISTORY

STONE ISLAND BRAND

1982 THE ORIGINS The first collection of Stone Island was born from the creative

mind of Massimo Osti inspired by the military uniforms and real- ised with Tela Stella fabric that recalls the waxed jackets corrod- ed by the sea and by the sun resulted from the study of a rigid, full-bodied, two-sided and two-tone truck tarpaulin which under- went a heavy stone wash procedure. To this, a Badge fabric la- bel showing the Stone Island Wind Rose has been applied.
